      There was once a man called Mr. Flowers, and flowers were his only
joy in life. He spent all his free time in one of his four glass-houses and
grew flowers of every color, with long and difficult names, for
competitions (比赛). He tried to grow a rose of a new color to win the
silver cup (银杯) for the Rose of the Year.
Mr. Flowers' glass-houses were very near to a middle school. Boys of
around thirteen of age were often tempted (引诱) to throw a stone or two
at one of Mr. Flowers' glass-houses. So Mr. Flowers did his best to be in
or near his glass-houses at the beginning and end of the school day.
     But it was not always possible to be on watch at those times. Mr.
Flowers had tried in many ways to protect his glass, but nothing that he
had done had been useful. He had been to school to report to the
headmaster; but this had not done any good. He had tried to drive away
the boys that threw stones into his garden; but the boys could run faster
than he could, and they laughed at him from far away. Hehad even picked
up all the stones that he could find around his garden, so that the boys
would have nothing to throw; but they soon found others.
     At last Mr. Flowers had a good idea. He put up a large notice (布告)
made of good, strong wood, some meters away from the glass-houses. On
it he had written the words: DO NOT THROW STONES AT THIS
NOTICE. After this, Mr. Flowers had no further trouble; the boys were
much more tempted to throw stones at the notice than at the glass-houses.

     As the sun rose, a dewdrop (露珠) woke up.  There it sat on a leaf, catching the sunlight. Proud of its
simple beauty,  it was very happy.  Around it were other dewdrops,  some on the same leaf and some on
other leaves. The dewdrop was sure that it was the best, the most special dewdrop of them all.
     Ah, it was good to be a dewdrop.
     The  wind  blew  and  the plant began to shake,  tipping  (使倾斜)  the leaf . The  dewdrop  became
frightened as it started to move towards the edge (边缘)of the leaf. Why was this happening? Things were comfortable. Things were safe. Why did they have to change? Why? Why?
     The dewdrop  reached  the edge of th e leaf.  It was sure that this was the end.  The day had only just
begun and the end had come so quickly. It seemed so unfair. It seemed so meaningless. It tried hard to do whatever it could to stay on the leaf, but it was no use.
     Finally, it fell. Below there was a mirror. A reflection of the dewdrop seemed to be coming up to meet
it.  Closer and closer they came together until finally.., the small dewdrop became a part of the great pond (池塘). Now the dewdrop was no more, but it was not destroyed.
